The bit plays a real clip of Trump complaining that cameras stay on his face, and that he asked whether the camera was "statutory," like a statue that cannot be moved. Kimmel's jokes and asides are comedy, not claims of fact.

But people are still showing up by the dozens to see him in person. Trump has been touring and boring the country all this month to remind voters of what an amazing job he thinks he's doing and to castigate the fake news for not turning their cameras around to show the size of his crowds. You see the fakers? So I used to think because they keep the camera right on my face, they never move it. And I realized, I said, you know, it must be the equipment.
